Uma nova espĂ©cie de lagarto do gĂȘnero Eublepharis (Squamata: Eublepharidae) da Ăndia
Descrevemos aqui uma nova espĂ©cie de lagarto do gĂȘnero Eublepharis das Montanhas Satpura, Ăndia central. A nova espĂ©cie assemelha-se intimamente a E. fuscus, mas pode ser distinguida desta pelo seguinte conjunto de caracteres: SVL 125â130 mm; tubĂ©rculos em forma de domo, sem quilhas, arranjados em ~20 fileiras no dorso, espaço intertubercular maior que a largura de um tubĂ©rculo; 46â48 escamas na franja ocular, trĂȘs faixas claras entre a curva nucal e a constrição caudal; lamelas subdigitais mediais lisas; 13â14 poros prĂ©-anais, que podem estar interrompidos medialmente por uma Ășnica escama sem poro. A descrição da nova espĂ©cie aumenta o conhecimento limitado de Eublepharis na Ăndia. Fornecemos uma chave de identificação para as espĂ©cies do gĂȘnero Eublepharis.We describe here a new species of the genus Eublepharis from the Satpura Hills in central India. The new species closely resembles E. fuscus, but can be differentiated from it by the following suite of characters: SVL 125â130 mm; dome shaped tubercles lacking keels arranged in ~20 rows on dorsum, inter-tubercular space greater than width of a tubercle; 46â48 ocular fringe scales, three pale bands between the nuchal loop and caudal constriction; medial subdigital lamellae smooth; 13â14 preanal pores, which may be interrupted medially by a single poreless scale. Description of the new species sheds light on the limited knowledge of Eublepharis in India. We provide an identification key to the species of the genus Eublepharis
